Efficient & Compact Energy Storage

The Storagedock ES1.28K (12.8V / 100Ah) provides 1.024kWh of usable energy at a conservative 80% Depth of Discharge. Built with heat-resistant polymer insulated cells and a clamped force of 5000N, this unit ensures structural stability and thermal safety. Its compact, polymer-coated steel enclosure makes it a durable choice for wall or floor installations in protected indoor environments.

Intelligent Battery Management

To ensure peak performance and longevity, the integrated Battery Management System (BMS) automatically balances individual cells when the State of Charge (SOC) rises above 90%. The BMS is engineered to protect your investment by disconnecting the load if individual cell parameters fall outside of safe operating ranges. Regular full charging is recommended to maintain optimal cell balance and health.

Safety & Application Guidelines

This autonomous battery is optimized for smaller systems, with a recommended maximum inverter size of 0.5kVA. For comprehensive protection, the unit features an internal 120A main disconnect fuse. Please note that this is an autonomous unit without CAN-bus communication or parallel connection ports, designed specifically for simplified, standalone power needs.
